I understand so Many of us are looking at the Options of Using AC21.
I am currently looking for a Good Attorney for this.
I have contacted Sheela Murthy's Office and Rajiv Khanna's Office.
Both of them are very very expensive.
I am looking for an Attorney who charges under $1000 and also knows
about the Immigration Matters.
I would appreciate any pointers and suggestions in this regards.
Ellen Krengel - Good and reasonable (google for telephone)
Christine Troy, Attorney at Law - tel 415-399-9490 - Good and reasonable
Helen Konrad - Tel 804-775-3818 - good and reasonable
Kapoor & Associates - Phone: (404) 685-9940 - found reasonable, talk to them and finalize
K K Rastogi ESQ - Ph: 212-279-4403 - talk to him, I did not talk to him.
Andrew Dutton - 917-536-5940 - I did not get a chance to talk to him, but heard he is reasonable
Good luck

I believe Mbhai did a dis-service by negating good advice. What is the guarantee that the 2nd women that this guy marries will not ask for divorce? The best thing he can do is find a way to reconcile, unless there is marital infidility.
I believe "snathan" story was inspiring and addressed the true problem of that individual and every indivudual's life. Trust me, when you all get your GC's ...it will be these things that will matter to all of you, rather than anything else.
I think we, in this forum, should get more mature in handling others personnel issues. The reason I was against that "snathan" story was that we are trying to play goody goody for no reason. We are in a country where the divorce rate is the highest..then why don't we open this forum for all of those people..let's play good Samaritan to everyone...

Please feel free to send me a private message or email me at jaimemrm2002@yahoo.com and I will be glad to help you as much as I can with immigration to Canada.
Actually, immigrating to Canada is quite simple if you are the right person that they are looking for (and from the qualifications that you described you are, trust me). Canada has a very low natality rate and their strategy is to grow through immigration. Canada is the 2nd largest country in the world after Russia, but it only has over 30 millio inhabitants. They are admitting roughly 250,000 new immigrants a year.
The first step is to take the eligibility test, which if you pass, it means that pretty much you are in (the rest is just paperwork). You can take the assesment online (as well as find a lot of information) on the CIC ("Citizenship and Immigration Canada) website at:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/skilled/assess/index.html
Many people use Canadian immigration attorneys to file their petitions, but you don't really need one (I started with oe and then fired them when I saw the process was so simple!)
After that they will as you for: police reports, a medical exam, to take the IELTS English test, etc. Finally, they will send you a passport request (it all takes at the most 1 year) and they will stamp your and your family's immigrant visas on your passports. The you have a year from the date of your medical exams to go to Canada and finalize the paperwork at the port of entry (land, air or sea port) and that's it.
What's really nice is that if you want/need to you can keep your U.S. job for up to 3 full years after becoming a Canadian permaent resident before you are required to actually move to Canada, which gives you great flexibility.
The CIC website is your best tool (you are even be able to track your case on there). Also, visit the Canadian Embassy's website of your country of origin for ay special instructions. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Yes, I agree.. those roaches need to be crushed down with good governance..Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_Identification_Authority_of_India)) project is the first step of that process to have transparency to credit system, risk assessment, tax accountability, govt spending, crime control and so many others.. ... I think it will be a reality in next few years. similar development perspective is up with china now..they increased domestic consumption rather focusing only on exports..
US needs revise this per country limit based EB immigration policies to stop reverse brain drain otherwise it will be loose the talent and the edge in research power which is the heart beat of US economy..
If Indian bureaucracy is improved, corruption is drastically reduced and transparency is increased, India is the best place. But will this happen with this corrupt minded, useless and nasty politicians?

Hello Hebbar,
:) Very few countries are free of quotas...they have them under one name or another...it's just an age-old human power structure..
The proposal is good, why not try it? What needs to be done?

You did not read it carefully. The person actually NOTIFIED the USCIS about AC21. However, USCIS failed to record it.
That's was his/her problem. If the person have not notified the USCIS about the job change, everything would've been fine :) I am not going to argue with you. If one of hundreds thousand cases had an issue, it does not mean we have to rush and file AC21 every time we change a job. That will just create more work for the USCIS and increase our chances for RFE/denials. That's my opinion. You are entitled to yours. BTW, I changed jobs and did not file anything. No problems.

Duplicate application will definitely create problems I will told today by the USCIS rep. They don't recommend it at all and neither my lawyer. He has refused to re-file or will only re-file if I take the onus/responsibility of the result.
USCIS rep also informed me that as long as you have a tracking proof that you application was delivered, you should be able to refile after Aug17 also, in case application was not processed because it was lost or so.

We have shown the CA (Chartered Accountncy) equivalent to both a US bachelor's degree and a US Masters degree with an expert opinion letter. As far as I know they have all been approved. We have detailed research and we suggest the attorney cite it in the brief as well because that makes the case even stronger than just citing it in an evaluation or expert opinion letter.
It was approved under EB2

Hi all,
Now H1 period no longer counts against H4 period. As H4 is allowed to do volunteer I work, I had taken up few Volunteer Projects and done some Open Source Projects for keeping my Skills updated.
Is it advisable to put all these expeience in resume, while applying for a new H1B or only professional experience should be shown on the resume.
Advice please.

since the guy is already used to having two wives it won't be that hard to have thrid wife for a change.Hence I suggest don't bring anyone of them here for sometime.Get married here to a US citizen, then divorce her after you get your GC.Atlease this unique situation has something good to offer.

Do not care about the money now. Give 5k and file thro company. If you need any help from company for RFE or any other issue after filing gc then company will help for you. Because you are working for hourly paying 2 or 3k more than normal should be ok. Some of lawyers are charging more compared to normal
I guess most of the folks here are busy preparing to apply for 485. I have different problem here.
My employer's attorney is charging me outrageous fees of around $5000 to
apply for 485, AP and EAD for me and my spouse. This excludes USCIS fees. I work on hourly basis, so I should be taking care of immigration fees. My employer is not allowing me to file through another law firm.
Do I have any other options. How much do they charge usually.

Thanks for finding the link. I remember reading it some time in the past, but couldn't find it.
dpp, Please read through my wifes case above and in your 'opinion', will there be a problem?
Q : Must an H-1B alien be working at all times?
As long as the employer/employee relationship exists, an H-1B alien is still in status. An H-1B alien may work in full or part-time employment and remain in status. An H-1B alien may also be on vacation, sick/maternity/paternity leave, on strike, or otherwise inactive without affecting his or her status.
Check this.

This is what I got from 4 separate lawyers when I was invoking AC-21. I think everybody should speak to a lawyer before invoking AC-21.
A lot of people out there think that after getting EAD one can invoke AC-21 to change to any job at any employer. This is not true. AC-21 is pretty complicated and I think that in the future, if there is no change in the law, a lot of 485 applications will be pending for 6-8 years or more. And for the duration of this period, a lot of people will invoke AC-21. I also think that the rate for rejection for number of AC-21 cases at USCIS will be higher. Nobody told me about the approximate wait time and rejection rate. It is just what I think based upon the developing situation.
Sanju,
Is there any basis your thoughts are coming from? And what is the 'deveoping situation' you mentioned that would lead to an increased rate of rejection for AC21 cases.
I personally don't see anything like that provided you have completed 6 months AND your new job description is similar to the old one.
An increase in number of people invoking it should actually make AC21 a common and very popular choice and that should lead to low rate of denials as more and more officers will now be aware of the law ---(Again assuming you keep those 2 conditions in mind)

I am in IT job, My job title is System Analyst and I want change the job with similar job title Sr System Analyst , But the technology(Oracle Stuff to Java Stuff) will be different then what is on labor certification.
My future employer will not file H1-B, So I have to start on EAD.
What should be process for me to do the same
* Do I need to file AC21
* If yes, Can I do the AC21 with same or Different lawyer
My advice is to take a new job, leave the current employer on good terms and forget about AC21.

Tired of waiting ( PD: August 2001) I finally wrote to both my local congressman and Senator today. My senator is on senate Immigration commitee so lets see what happens. Hopefully something will move.
If this doesnt help I will try Ombudsman next after couple of months. The Ombudsman form has a question of if you have tried through Congressman etc first so we can try and see that.
Guys its so funny when you see ppl with PD of 2003 and 2005 complaining and bitching. Here we have waited 7 + yrs our PD's are current and we are doing OK. Wait sure brings maturity :)
